HARVARD ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SPEAKERS BUREAU PROGRAM CATALOGUE OF SPEAKERS 2016-17 http://alumni.harvard.edu/haa/clubs-sigs/programs/speakers

The Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) Speakers Bureau Program provides Harvard Clubs and Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) with the opportunity to host distinguished members of the Harvard faculty and administration.

U.S. and Canadian Clubs and SIGs may request one faculty speaker per academic year. Speakers participating in this year’s program can be found in this catalogue (broken down by subject area and in an alphabetical index) and also on the HAA Speakers Bureau website.

The participating faculty and administrators are volunteers, and we are very grateful to them for supporting the Speakers Bureau. They generously commit their time and energy to keeping alumni connected to the rich intellectual life of the University, and they receive no honorarium for their efforts. Please keep in mind that each of the participating individuals has limited time and a busy schedule. While it is not always possible to obtain your first-choice speaker, the HAA will do its utmost to accommodate your requests and assist you in planning a successful event.

In addition to this listing, please review all Speakers Bureau guidelines and responsibilities. If you decide to host a Harvard speaker, please consult with your Club/SIG officers and submit the Speakers Bureau request form by the appropriate deadline. If you have any questions or concerns about the Speakers Bureau, please contact Ryan Ford in the HAA’s Clubs and SIGs office by email or 617-495-5326.
